  • I am going to give you two book recommendations that I think should be done in this order: Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat and The Wok

    Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat is great because it talks and about what is needed for all recipes (it’s title). It talks about food science and theory so you can understand techniques and understand what each thing in a recipe does. It does have generic recipes that you can modify as well “lessons” to walk through what you learned.

    The Wok is similar but just about using a Wok. I love the wide variety of things you can make with the wok. It also gives you some sidebars about how to shop of ingredients, sauces and how to chop for the recipes. It also talks techniques with then example recipes. Read both and try them out
